Budding Trees Moon, April 2

The Budding Trees Moon is a time of catalyzing the shift of energies from the Winter resting and rejuvenation to the Spring budding and blooming.

Over this Winter, we’ve recommended that you rest and rejuvenate from the busy growing season of 2006. During your rejuvenation, you’ve inventoried your successes from 2006. With those success lists, you then created affirmations that you worked with to begin to build energies for the Spring. After jettisoning those affirmations that weren’t working, you planted those that were working during the Big Winds Moon, identifying what you wanted to plant for this growing season.

While Spring may have been giving glimpses of itself, now the energies of the Earth have shifted directly into Spring, with the Spring Equinox on March 21, 2007. The equinox means the length of daytime and nighttime are the same. After the Equinox, the daytime begins to lengthen with respect to the nighttime. Along with longer days, the Sun begins to strengthen its influence in the days helping things warm up and grow. This Full Moon is the Budding Trees Moon telling us that the energy of the Earth is now returning to the plants to focus its energy there to help them grow.

So now is the time to use all the work you’ve done this Winter to capitalize on the Budding Tree energies. Has your planting begun to bud? Take some time each day to visualize the Sun warming what you’ve planted for this growing season. Think ahead about what you’ll need so that you can have a productive summer.

Then let the Universe know what you need and what you want to grow. Let the Universe know by actually talking out loud about what you wan to accomplish this growing season – especially outside. The Budding Trees and the energies of the other plants can feed back to you what your dreams and plans sound like. Does that feedback resonate with what you want to build? If not, then refine your descriptions so that the Universe (the energies of the Earth, Sun, and Moon) can work with you.

With all the work you’ve done so far this year, this visualization and talking exercise ought to be a natural extension of what is already going on in your head every day. You ought to have a good image of what you want to accomplish this year. Now is the time to actually resonate with where you want to go, by imaging you are there. Essentially be that energy no matter what the other circumstances are on the outside or around you. This is a way of actualizing your dreams.
